Leaky Mitral Valve

December 29, 2022 by Alain Bouchard, MD Leave a Comment

Dr. Bouchard discusses the Leaky Mitral Valve with Dr. Mustafa Ahmed at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

In this report, we would like to concentrate on the primary mitral insufficiency which is a disease of the mitral valve apparatus (mitral leaflet, chordae tendineae, papillary muscle, mitral annulus), and not the secondary cause which is a disease of the left ventricle and/or the left atrium. The most common cause in the US is mitral valve prolapse.
